New Product Highlight: SK Customs & Springfield Armory Team Up for “Michelangelo” Pistol

Springfield Armory and SK Customs have teamed up, announcing the release of a new pistol series based on the Italian Renaissance.

The Early Italian Renaissance series will feature a set of four limited edition 1911 pistols, all chambered in .45 ACP. Kicking off the series is the Michelangelo – a pistol dedicated to the illustrations of the famed artist.

This pistol will showcase works like David and depictions of the Sistine Chapel ceiling as well as the Madonna della Pietá.

Using a proprietary color system, SK brings a reflective, teal color scheme paired with genuine imported Italian Olivewood grip panels. The panels are engraved with Italy’s Fleur de Lis and then hand-painted to match the color scheme.

Topping off the aesthetics is 24-karat gold plating on the artwork.

“The goal of the Early Italian Renaissance series is to symbolize the cultural rebirth of the 15th century and pay homage to the knowledge, art and humanism that sparked iconic paintings, sculptures and architecture during this era,” Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Customs, said in a press release.

“The Michelangelo firearm strikingly introduces this series. The combination of the gold plating and the teal color conversion accents is spectacular, and we are able to pay homage to some of Michelangelo’s most iconic works.”

Following the Michelangelo, SK and Springfield intend to release guns dedicated to the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Andrea del Sarto, and Raphael.

MSRP on the Michelangelo is $2,405.
